A 'living constitution' for a Dying Republic

Its unfortunate that more people do not realize what they are giving up. This Constitution was made up for the people, of this country, to have the right to have their freedom, and to praise god in their own religion, and not be persecuted for it. It wasn't made to repress God, this country was brought in to being because of it. And not being able to say merry Christmas to some one is outrageous. If people dont like the way our country is made, then leave, no one is stoping you.

"We Federated for Foreign affairs only, all Domestic affairs are left to the States, or to the People." Thomas JeffersonWe did not Nationalize, we Federalized.

You would think this president and his fellow dems would sit back and realize we the people have spoken in MA. The replublicans now need to move ahead and get things done--hopefully they will do some good. If not we need to vote them all out and start over and of course this should begin with the president.

Replace ALL incumbents! VOTE THEM ALL OUT OF OFFICE!

The Best thing that Patriots can do for OUR Country is to keep e-mailing the Patriot Post to EDUCATE people about OUR Constitution.Send it out to Our Elected Reps while your at it... The schools and colleges today white-wash Our great Documents and sweep them under the rug...ask any high schooler what the Bill of Rights are....they have no clue.Very sad

We, the People, must take back the control of OUR government. Too many things are happening to erode our Constitution, our Bill of Rights every week. It is time for All Good Men and Women to Come to the Aid of Their Country. Wake-up and smell the coffee. If you don't know how very serious this situation is right now, then educate yourself around these issues. It reminds me of how to catch wild pigs. Every day you fill the trough with corn and put up a small section of fence. On the last day, the last section of fence goes up and then....the pigs are no longer free.

On May 21, 2011 Jesus Christ is coming again and will gather up His elect (chosen before the foundation of His creation we call "mankind") securing them with Him into a new heaven and a new earth. Left behind will be all those whom He has given life, for which they, as those whom He gathered, have lived and ought to be wholly thankful to Him for that life. As our American's) Constitution dies, so for the next five months will all that is left die. Pray you are among those whom are being redeemed. May our LORD AND SAVIOR richly bless you. REF: "We Are Almost There" derived wholly from God's Word the Bible.

The whole POINT of a national Constitution is to have a set of laws that DON'T change with every shift in the political wind, and are NOT subject to "modernized" interpretations whenever it's politically expedient.

We have been blessed with an incredible Constitutuion and its eternal mandates of life, (all life), liberty, (freedom from tyranny) and the pursuit of happiness,(being content/fortunate/blessed), with protection and justice for all the people. It has been worth fighting for, marching for, and being proud of. Do not let our Constitution be trampled on or defiled. Too many have givening their lives so it may live.

The one comment about Marbury v. Madison is wrong. When the court there says that it is is job alone to say "what the law is", in context, it is clear that the court is saying law as distinct from say equity. The rest of the decision goes on at length to say that the courts have no role in policy questions, or policy at all. Just what the words of a statute say in plain English.This was written about at length in the 80's by Robert Lowry Clinton, a historian, in "The Marbury Myth". Everyone interested should read it, especially Mark Alexander.

Our Constitution is (and always has been) current and relevant to our freedoms and our hopes. It is when men take it out of context or attempt to alter it to suit their own agendas, that we suffer. Much like the Holy Bible, neither need amending. Wither you believe in God or not is not the issue, it is the values that are important. Freedom is something given to men. It should never come at the expense of enslaving those already free. Taking away my freedom should not be the basis of your freedom.Glen

BrainerdRebel,If by Foreign Affairs you mean interstate commerce among the states, then you are correct. One of the primary reasons the constitutional convention was convened is because the Articles of Confederation did not effectively regulate interstate taxes and tariffs among the states. The states were imposing all sorts of different taxes and tariffs on each others exports/imports depending on their local economic weaknesses and strengths. They were trying to protect their own at the expense of the other or others. They were also fighting over navigation rights along common water ways.Unfortunately, the interstate commerce clause of our constitution has been thoroughly molested and abused by numerous congresses and courts since the early 20th century. Most recently in the Affordable Healthcare Act. Our founders must be are completely exhausted from all the rolling over in their graves. What a shame.

@Rickey: Therefore proving that "regulate" meant to "make regular" interstate commerce: a free trade America in today's terms.

allowing Time magazine, an opinion when they are the voice of LIBTARDS is a mistake.This writer simply ought to have his mouth washed out and be sent back to school.

It seems that the leftist at Time Magazine have demonstrated their own demise and irrelivance as compared to a Document (The US Constitution) that must prevail and endure.

History has proven that on Dec. 28, 1913 the Constitution ceased to be the governing covenant of the American people and our liberites were handed over to a small group of international bankers. The Federal Reserve Act of 1913 and the Income tax bill was the first of many steps leaading toward socialism.you have to go back to Colonel Edward Mandall House who in 1911, returned to his home in Texas and completed a book called Philip Dru,Administrator which was a detailed plan for the future governmentof the United States. which would establish Socialism, as dreamed by carl Marx. Accordsing to House,this novel predicted the enactment of the graduated income tax,excess profit taxes,unemployment insurance,social security and a flexible currency system.This was the blueprint followed by both the Wilson and FDR administration.

I have been looking for the place to sign the petition and can't seem to find it but i took the oath many years ago, 1952, and got a free trip to the the frozen chozen, {Korea} and as i recall that oath did not have a experiation date on it. so i still feel bound by it. Mr. sherrill c. davis.

The first mistake in this battle is allowing the black robed tyrants a position of respect that ain't given to the Executive, or the Legislative. Nothing the federal judiciary, from lowest to highest requires that these turkeys are immune from criticism, and even verbal assault. After all, in spite of he fact that they all believe their crap don't stink, Mother Nature levels all men.

Those that advocate for a living constitution are people that want more power to rule because the constitution limits the power each branch of goverment.

"However, FDR grossly exceeded the Constitutional limits upon the authority of his office and that of the legislature in his folly to end The Great Depression (the latter falling victim to World War II -- not FDR's social and economic engineering)."

I would offer that this is a little bit off - WW2 was actually a time of great austerity and rationing, not "real" growth, precisely due to the Keynesian economic mechanism of wartime production. The real economic boon happened POST WW2 when the US's capital and manpower were unleashed.

what do people expect when they keep electing non-Christian politicians? When people allow the murder of 9 mo old babies there is no morality!. This country needs to go back to the basic morality of Christianity, teach the 10 Commandments & keep them........they're just a plain common sense way of living..........!!!!!!!!!
